On our 2 foot gauge J&L Narrow Gauge Railroad we will be cutting standard 8'6" ties in half to 4' 3" long and spacing them 2 foot on centers. We will also be using 90 lb. to 115 lb. rail. 4' 3" is a little shorter than the 5 foot long standard, but we are cheap and need to get the railroad built before we run out of money. Each relay tie we buy gets us four more feet of track.
